Reddit: Who Is Anthony Orlando Sherwin, 23, From Nebraska?

According to a Reddit post, Anthony Orlando Sherwin, 23, from Nebraska, was the suspect in the murder of three family members of Schmidt’s family in a state park in eastern Iowa on Friday. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Sherwin allegedly shot parents Tyler and Sarah Schmidt, both 42, and their daughter Lulu, 6, to death at around 6 a.m. at Maquoketa Caves State Park Campground. The Schmidt couple’s son, Arlo, survived the attack.

On top of that, the alleged gunman shot himself to death after murdering three family members. The investigators couldn’t determine the relationship between the victims and the shooter thus far.

The police officers responded to the reports of the shooting before 6:30 a.m. Responding officers discovered the bodies of three family members in a tent at the campground, Mitch Mortvedt, assistant division director, said.

Reportedly, law enforcement found Anthony dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a wooded park area. Searching online court records didn’t produce any prior history of his criminal behavior. 

Rob Greeb, mayor of Cedar Falls, posted his condolence on Facebook and also shared a GoFundMe link for Sarah and Tyler’s serving 9-year-old son. Thus far, the account has already achieved its goal of collecting $100,00.
